Copper Indium (Cu/In) Sputtering Targets

Copper indium (CuIn) is an intermetallic compound that has been investigated for its potential use in thin-film photovoltaic applications. The material can exhibit semiconductor-like properties, with a bandgap that can be tuned by adjusting the copper-to-indium ratio. Copper indium thin films can be deposited using techniques like sputtering or co-evaporation, enabling their integration into solar cell structures. While the performance of copper indium-based solar cells has generally been lower compared to other thin-film technologies, such as CIGS, ongoing research aims to improve the materials efficiency and stability, making it a potential candidate for future photovoltaic applications.
